Thorpe sues France! - (France as a defendent is easier to spell than the French paper and the journalist that he is actually suing.)

Gosh it's late, and Wendy from www.off-the-deep-end.blogspot.com sent me this link well before anybody had it this morning. Unfortunately, I had to watch this "scoop" mold into yesterday's fish-wrap because my stupid life got in the way.

Thorpe is still pissed-off about French paper named L'Equipe and a writer therein accusing him of an irregular doping test. Thorpe is suing for defamation and more!

Snippet from RTE: "... Thorpe's lawyer Tony O'Reilly had informed the New South Wales Supreme Court of this on Monday and said that the proceedings would include a claim for infringement of privacy, the statement said.

The court proceedings were adjourned until September 22, when it was expected that preparations would be made for a hearing some time next year, the statement said, adding that no further comment would be made...." [Link]

He is suing in an Australian court - How is that going to work?
